Joséphine-Charlotte is a Brussels Metro station on line 1 (prior to 4 April 2009 the eastern branch of line 1B). It opened on 20 January 1976.

The name of the station, like that of the green square adjacent to the entrance, is named after Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte of Luxembourg (born Princess of Belgium). It is located in the municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre / Sint-Pieters-Woluwe. The station is located entirely below Avenue de Broqueville.

In late 2008 the original "Pavimento Pirelli" black rubber flooring on the platforms was replaced with new biscuit-coloured terrazzo floor tiles.

Entrances at street level on Avenue de Broqueville are marked with "M" logo signs
